Hong Kong leader Carrie Lam said Tuesday that an estimated 100 protesters remain remained trapped inside the city's Polytechnic University in the third consecutive day of the siege with police.

Police have surrounded the university in the center of the bustling Kowloon peninsula and are arresting anyone who leaves.

Lam said 600 protesters had left the campus, including 200 who are under 18 years old, adding that those under 18 would not be immediately arrested but could face charges later. The other 400 who have left have already been arrested.

"We will use whatever means to continue to persuade and arrange for these remaining protesters to leave the campus as soon as possible so that this whole operation could end in a peaceful manner,'' Lam said after a meeting with her advisers.

She warned campus protesters must surrender if there was to be a peaceful resolution.

"This objective could only be achieved with the full cooperation of the protesters, including of course the rioters that they have to stop violence, give up the weapons and come out peacefully and take the instructions from the police," she told a press conference in her first comments on the standoff.

The new phase of the protests has led to chaos throughout Asia's financial hub, with schools closed, train lines disrupted and major roads blocked by barricades. Social unrest has caused havoc across the city for more than five months.

This is nuts. That's what happens when a woman is at the head of the power system.

With the standoff approaching its third day running, demonstrators said supplies, including food, were quickly running out at the campus.

"There have been so many people who have sacrificed for this," said one 21-year-old university student who had escaped from the campus on Tuesday.

Dozens of mask-wearing protests were seen escaping the university on Monday night by sliding down plastic hosing from a bridge and fleeing on waiting motorbikes as police fired.

Two officials were permitted to enter the campus late on Monday in an attempt to mediate but many protesters refused to leave voluntarily.

According to Chinese state media outlet Xinhua, Beijing insisted on Tuesday that only China has the sole authority to rule on constitutional matters in Hong Kong. It condemned the Hong Kong High Court decision to veto the ban on face masks during public demonstrations.

"No other institution has the right to make judgements or decisions," said Chinese parliament spokesperson Zang Tiewei.

The Hong Kong High Court had ruled Monday that the mask ban enacted over a month ago by Lam was unconstitutional.

Carrie Lam decided that she should ban the face masks a month ago and apparently she did it without constitutional approval from mainland China. This is women in power. Equality guys!

Wait I'm behind. Why are they sieging a school and shooting at people who leave? Have the protests escalated in violence?
